I seem to always make Pipit crazy... Gosh dang! He just always comes out that way. I don't know why. Maybe because he represses his urges and they just burst forth at one point. I need to get back to chores... But this was already done. Has been for a while. I just felt weird about posting it. But this is my story and I'll do as I please!

Enjoy!

I sighed once again. I was back in Skyloft among the remlits. Zelda was safe from Demise. But I wasn't happy. Pipit kissing Karane was stuck in my mind. I could save the world a hundred times over and not care for the praise. I only wanted Pipit. I had fallen harder than I ever thought possible.

"Link." I tilted my head up to see Zelda. It didn't surprise me that she was here. She always knew when I was upset. "Don't do this. I know you're better than to wallow in your self pity. In fact, if you want him so bad... Show him!"

My head fit snuggly in the crook of my arm. My tears wetting my sleeve, but I didn't care. "No."

"No. No!" I jumped at Zelda's firm tone of voice. "You are Hylia's chosen hero for goddess's sake! There is nothing you can't do! No way in hell are you going to let this go without a fight! Where is your courage and unbreakable spirit!"

I nodded numbly at Zelda's ranting. I knew she was right. "I will fight." I stood and pulled Zelda into a hug. "Thanks, Zel."

"You're welcome." I turned and sprinted for the edge. I whistled as soon as my feet left the ground and fell a short couple feet before Red caught me. My destination was the Lumpy Pumpkin. I knew Karane had asked Pipit to join her there. She had asked me what he liked to eat. I chuckled at that. He was her boyfriend, yet I could tell someone his life story and she couldn't even remember what he liked to eat.

Pumpkin Landing came into view quickly. Red seemed to realize I wanted to get there quickly. I'd thank him later with a bit of honey covered oats. His favorite.

I whipped out my sailcloth and jumped from my loftwing's back. I wait until the last second before opening the cloth and floating to the ground. I stuff it back into the pouch pocket I pulled it from and walk around to the front of the Lumpy Pumpkin. I open the door and my eyes scan the room for Pipit or Karane. I found Pipit sitting at a table by the stairs. He was looking around. No doubt for Karane. I sighed.

I walked in and past Pipit. I sat at the bar. Just waiting. For what? I wasn't really sure.

Then I saw her. Karane was coming down the stairs holding hands with... Keet?! They stopped at the bottom and Keet leaned over to kiss Karane. She started to move towards him until her eyes widened. I followed her fear filled stare with a great curiosity. What could have possibly made her- And my eyes landed on Pipit. He was seated, but his hands were balled into fist and he was visibly shaking.

I looked back over to Karane and saw her push Keet away. He made a pain-stricken face and hurried back up the stairs. He was halfway to the top when Pipit pulled him down by his shirt collar. My best friend slammed a terrified Keet against the nearest wall. I knew then that I needed to interfere or Pip would seriously injure someone. I got up and sprinted their way.

"Why?!" The grief in Pipit's voice was heartbreaking.

"I'm sorry!" Karane backed up and tripped up the stairs.

"No, you aren't! You say you're sorry when you spill a drink on a brand new shirt. You say you're sorry when you bump into someone in the hall. But you don't say you are sorry when your boyfriend finds you cheating on him!" Pip held his head with his free hand, pulling at his hair. Then he turned his sights on Keet. "Did you know Karane was my girlfriend?"

"N-No. I pr-promise, Pip-pit." I could feel the sincerity in Keet's words and obviously so could Pipit. He let go of Keet's shirt and nodded. A silent acceptance.

"Pipit. Baby. We can wor-"

"Shut up!" Karane startled at Pipit's words. His eyes scanned the room and found me. They locked on me a moment before glaring down at Karane. "I don't want to hurt a woman, Karane. So I suggest you leave before I lose myself."

His words chilled me to the bone. Karane scrambled from the stairs and out the door. Once she was gone Pipit collapsed. He sobbed and beat his fist against the floor. I wanted to comfort him, but this wasn't the best place. I silently went over and paid for a room before returning to Pipit. I half walked, half carried him up the stairs.

We slipped into the room and I left Pipit on the bed to close and lock the door.

"Link." My name came out as a whiny moan. It was depressing to see my ever stoic friend so down-hearted.

"Yes?" I kicked off my boots and pulled off my over shirt.

"Am I pathetic?" I furrowed my brows at this.

"What makes you even ask that?" Pipit sat up and rubbed at his red-rimmed eyes. He saw my state of dress and scowled down at his own boots. I shifted over to him and tugged off the shoes before knocking off his hat when I took his mustard yellow tunic off.

"I'm not unhappy that Karane and I are no longer dating. More upset that she cheated on me." He pulled up his knees and rested his forearms on them. Pipit looked dreamily up at the ceiling. "Truth be told, I don't think I ever liked Karane. It was a convenience thing. She was there and you weren't."

I gasped and Pipit went red in the face. "I... uh... Didn't mean to say it that way. I was just lonely and you had your quest..." It seemed Pipit lost his train of thought.

"Yeah." I sat down on the bed and leaned into him. "I've missed you, Pip."

Pipit's arm came up around me and pulled me further into his side. "Skyloft is so quiet without you around."

We sat there in silence for a few moments before Pipit cleared his throat and spoke. "Theoretically speaking, if I said that I liked you in that way, would you feel the same?"

My mind went a mile a minute. Did he mean that he liked me and just didn't want to say anything in fear of rejection? Or was this a test? My heart won out.

"I would tell you the truth, Pip." He gave me a look that said 'and that would be'. "I have h-had a crush on you since we were kids." I winced, waiting for the disgusted look. But Pipit didn't do anything. He just sat there. And then he blinked. Once. Twice.

"You have a crush on me." I blushed and patted down the wrinkles in the bed nervously.

"Y-Yes." I jumped when soft fingers ran down my jawline and lifted my face to Pipit's.

"And what will you do about it? Seriously?" I gulped.

"Pipit." I tilted my head up and looked up into his eyes. "Kiss me."

His eyes widened. "Link?"

"You asked and I told." I blushed and stood from the bed. "Forget about it."

I hurried to the door and could feel tears well up in my eyes. I knew I would be rejected. I yelped when I was grabbed and push up against the door. Pipit was towering over me. His eyes were half-lidded. I could only gasp when his mouth covered mine.

"Wha-"

He captured my lips again and pushed me further into the door, if that was possible. Pipit's mouth moved away from mine and attacked my neck.

"Ah! Pip!" He ground against me and I moaned.

"Mmm..." His hands moved down to my waist and pulled me towards him.

"Pipit!" I groaned and he growled. "Why?!"

"I love you." He bit down on my neck and I lost it even more. "Always have. You're so beautiful. Never thought you felt the same."

His hand reached down and cupped me firmly, but softly. I bucked into him and Pipit chuckled.

"Let me have you." He lifted me up and I was laying on the bed in seconds. My shirt was stripped off and his tongue licked up my chest.

"Mmm..." I gasped as my pants were taken from me.

"Never in my wildest dreams..." He kissed at my hips. "I love you so much."

My mind was currently going into a constant state of bliss. Pipit lifted my leg up and ran his nose down my thigh. "Pi-"

He moved quick and sucked on the skin my undershorts moved to reveal. But then he stopped.

"I-" My eyes trailed down to Pipit's face. He had a look of utter fear.

"Pip?" His blue eyes met mine.

"I'm so sorry, Link."

"Sorry about what?" He moved to sit next to me on the bed, so I sat up.

"We can't do this." Those words tore at my insides.

"W-Why?" My throat felt like it was closing up. Thoughts on one thing. Regret. Pipit was regretting what we were doing. Tears ran down my cheeks and I shook with a sob. Then I was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Don't you think for a moment that I regret you, Link. Don't you dare." Pipit nuzzled into my hair. "I have always wanted to do this."

"Then why d-did you stop?" I sighed as he placed a kiss to my temple.

"Not now. We can't. In the future, yes. Just not now. I don't want to use you." Pipit's hands cupped my face and he turned me towards him. "I want to do this right. I want to have sex with you Link. By Hylia's grace, I do. But I want our relationship to be perfect because you are perfect. I will not soil it with lust. I don't just want to have sex, I want to make love to you."

A small smile found its way to my face. "So, we take it slow. I'd like that."

"Me too." And he pulled me in for a kiss. "I love you, Link."

"I-I love you, Pip." Then another.

I need to take care of my mother... So...
